Pretty In Danger

"ANO?! Bakit hindi ka makasagot?"

Nanatili lang siyang tahimik at walang kibo, ni hindi man lang nagbago ang expresyon sa kaniyang mukha. Ganito ba talaga ka walang puso at pakiramdam ang taong ito?

"Ikaw rin ba ang nagpapatay sa mga magulang ko? Ang dahilan kung bakit may sunog na naganap sa bahay namin?!"

"Little danger." he said in the most dangerous tone.

"Stop! Don't call me that, I'm not that person and can you stop stopping me asking questions and just answer my questions?!" paos kong sigaw sa kaniya.

Nahihirapan na akong huminga at ang mga luha na gusto kong pigilan sa pagtulo ay ayaw huminto. Siguro dahil sa naghalo—halong mga problema ko sa buhay ay hindi ko na kayang pigilan pa ang sarili ko.

"Give that book back to me." he said.

"No!"

"Little danger I'm warning you."

"I'm warning you too, what are you gonna do to me huh? Papatayin mo na ako ngayon din? Edi go, magpakasawa ka kung gusto mo akong patayin tutal ayoko narin naman ng mabuhay sa mundo!" sigaw ko.

Lumapit siya sa akin para kapitan ako pero agad akong umiwas at niyakap ang libro.

"Don't you dare lay a finger on me." I said firmly.

My emotions were swirling like a storm, overwhelming me in their intensity. I couldn't understand why I felt such hatred towards him, it was an irrational, inexplicable feeling that I couldn't shake no matter how hard I tried to rationalize it.

The atmosphere in the room seemed to shift, the air heavy with tension and anger. I could feel the weight of his gaze on me, the dark, dangerous energy radiating from him as he stared at me with a steely glare.

I bit my lips hard.

"Stop biting your lips." he commanded.

"My body, my rule."

I felt the cold shiver run down to my spine as I realized that he was angry with me, and I feared what he might do to punish my disobedience.

"You know why cats often die because of their curiosity?" he said. "Curiosity can sometimes lead to dangerous situations for them, cats may be tempted to explore unfamiliar or dangerous areas, such as streets, always, or even other animal territories." he took a step closing the distance between us.

"Which can put them at risk of being killed." he clicked his tongue.

"For example, cats may be attracted to the smell of food in another animal's territory, and may unintentionally violate the territorial boundary, which can lead to a confrontation that ends in a fight and ultimately the death of the cat." he's right in front of me now.

Alam ko na may pinopoint out s'ya sa mga sinabi niya pero hindi ko parin siya maintindihan.

Isa siyang paligoy—ligoy na tao na misteryoso, hindi mo rin mahuhulaan ang kaniyang mga iniisip, kilos, o sasabihin. Para siyang isang puzzle na mahirap buoin.

He leaned closer to my face, our lips almost touching.

"Don't make the dog bite the kitten ,little danger." he wiped his thumb on my bloody lips before turning back and left the room.

Pagkalabas niya ay kusang bumagsak ang mga tuhod ko sa sahig, naluha parin ako sa mga nangyari. Nagawa ko siyang labanan, hindi man iyon sapat pero nagawa kong harapin ang takot ko, ang takot ko sa kaniya.
